Nasty Little Thing

12-year old Warwick Davis charmed George Lucas enough to step up from Ewok extra to featured status when original actor Kenny Baker fell ill before shooting a key scene with Carrie Fisher. So Davis, as the furry scout Wicket, becomes our introduction to the inhabitants of the forest moon of Endor. The clever native in a leather hoodie wasn’t a tribal leader or even an ambitious warrior; he’s just your typical Everyewok, saving his best moves for cozying up to Han Solo during tender moments. But his encounter with the Rebel officers set up an alliance that would help destroy the Empire. Respect, Wicket.

I was born in 77, fifteen days before Star Wars was out. So it was surrounding me when I was a kid, I could see images everywhere, posters, toys, cool-ass vans with the Hidlebrant Bros. paint-job.

It was fantastic to see, now titled A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back just before seeing Return of the Jedi... I get teary eyed :)

...I love ewoks
